About

AK Investing works with individual investors, high‑net‑worth clients, businesses and retirement plan sponsors and participants, providing ongoing investment management, comprehensive and targeted financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting and participant education. The firm offers portfolio management for individuals and consulting services to plan sponsors, including employee education and fiduciary reviews.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes diversified ETFs combined with option strategies and uses market‑implied volatility — specifically the CBOE S&P 500 Implied Volatility Index (VIX) — to determine position sizing. It allocates a portion of client capital to short index/ETF option strategies (structured across five risk tiers from conservative to aggressive), conducts periodic rebalancing, and provides discretionary or non‑discretionary management according to client preferences.

Several practices distinguish the firm from many independent peers: it accepts performance‑based fees from qualified clients and may charge for periodicals and educational seminars, and it provides pension and profit‑sharing plan services including ERISA fiduciary consulting with the option to act as a 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary. The firm also explicitly uses derivatives in separately managed accounts through short options and offers participant education, plan benchmarking, and other pension‑consulting services as part of its retirement‑plan work.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
